Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

THE 1970 STUDENT play Lakeboat by David Mamet (below) was greeted with open arms when it was premiered at the Lyric, Hammersmith earlier this year. It observes the eight-strong crew of a freighter crossing the Great Lakes. Aaron Mullen's unfussy staging allows us to peer beneath the surface of those now typically brusque, edgy exchanges.

The extended run of Sugar Sugar, Simon Bent's comedy about the flaky inhabitants of a Scarborough boarding house, comes to an end this week. Though uneven in structure, the dialogue is as pleasurable to hear as wet shingle underfoot.

The Bush, London W12 (0181-743 3388) to 15 Aug, 8pm
